Let me add a point that I neglected to include - SWAT teams are equipped with assault weapons (and a lot more) because their job (and training) is to deal with issues like those that happened in Uvalde. I have the utmost respect for anyone assigned to those specialized teams. I was armed for the job I was assigned. It appears the small Uvalde P.D. force was not prepared for the task at hand. Why the locals did not transfer the command to the larger department (Sheriff - Border Patrol - ?) as soon as those forces arrived makes me wonder why (unless it was some kind of "power pissing match"). Why it took over an hour to find someone with a key to that classroom ??? I still have a lot of questions and have no confidence we will ever get the full and truthful story from the politicians who don't want to address the real problem - people with freedom and access to weapons that belong only to the military and specialized law enforcement authorities.
